The details are delicious. We offer full-service food service, meaning we handle every detail of the culinary and hospitality operations, from responsible procurement to creative menu development to inspiring guest experiences.

Elevate Your Experience

When we were founded, our pursuit of from-scratch cooking and environmentally and socially responsible sourcing was unique in the industry—and it proved to be an act of disruption. Decades later, our approach to culinary and hospitality and our underlying values remain singular. Our entrepreneurial culture draws in talented operators with diverse backgrounds in the restaurant and hospitality industries. They bring fresh perspectives and skill sets that drive remarkable efficiency, quality, and guest experiences.

In the decades since our founding, the contract food service industry has evolved, and we’ve evolved with it. We’ve brought our sustainability principles to sporting arenas and won awards doing it. We manage massive university campuses with residential dining, food trucks, catering, teaching kitchens, and grab-and-go stores. We serve thousands of corporate workers on both coasts both on-site and via commissary kitchens. And we do it all in alignment with our food standards, our brand values, and our culture of continuous improvement.

Chef-Driven Programs

Our chefs are the backbone of our creativity. Empowered to work directly with local farmers and artisans, they create unique dishes for each location, crafted with the freshest ingredients and designed to express our partners’ culture and their audiences’ tastes.

Safe and Inclusive Dining

Dining isn’t just about delicious food; it’s also about trust. Safeguarding the health and well-being of each person we serve is the most important thing we do. Our comprehensive food safety and allergen management practices ensure our cafés are trusted places to dine for every single guest.

Bon Appétit has been a fantastic partner for the last 10 years. We deeply appreciate their hard work and dedication in feeding all our employees throughout the campus. When it comes to event catering, they are second to none. Their food quality is exceptional, always well-prepared, and their customer service is excellent.
